Hi,

I get error when running my code ,

Please provide a code snippet and/or a link to your repl.

Also, please wrap any code you do provide in triple backticks like so:

```languagenane

Please use ``` instead of """ when trying to wrap your code so it gets properly formatted.

Also, please Show Hidden Files and provide the content of your .replit file.

Those are still the wrong things to wrap your code in, but oh well.

Your issue is that the code’s entrypoint is set to README.md. Change entrypoint = "README.md" to entrypoint = "main.py".

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.
Maybe you have some other suggestions?

Yes the stuff to format your code is three backticks ``` and you are using quotes and apostrophes. On an american keyboard, the backticks are located directly above the tab button. You could just copy and paste too.

It appears that there is a bug in your program. Can we have the link to the Repl?

Yes that will work just fine. I will look at the code.

It appears that you never defined args in time_calculator.py. What is it supposed to do? You already have the variables start and duration in the function add_time due to them being parameters. You never created any args. IIRC you would use def add_time(start, duration, *other) and then other would be your list of args.
